There are nameless diseases which origina-
ted among the vile and lewd but now lave
spread among all classes of people They
are often found where least expected. In
certain stages Of the diseases slight sores
upon the lips are common-so slight are
they that to the unprofessional eye they
will not be noticed, or if seen will be deem
ed of no consequence these sores are
full of contagion, subtitle, yet so tenacious
from the blood, when once it has entered
that vital fluid Instances, have been known
where the disease has remained latent for
thirty years, and then produced a deadly
effect upon the brain or nervous system
The disease is hereditary, and newly born
children affected by it are sickly and puny,
and usually die within a few months or
years. The disease has been transferred by
yaccinating with humanized virus taken
from the arm of a child who has inherited
it. In one place in Germany 80 persons
were given the disease by being vaccinated
with the virus from one child This might
haye been avoided if the good practice had
obtained of never using virus from child
under one year of age. If child lives one
year without exhibiting symptoms of the
disease, it may be safely be inferred that il
is exempt from it, Still better it is to use
bovine virus. No authenticated case is on
record of disease being transferred by
vaecinating with bovine virus.
contagion may be transferred by using
combs, hair brushes, towels, bath tubs,
napkins, &C., which infected persons have
used. Too much care cannot be taken in
the use of any article the general public
have handled

BEECHER's IDEA OF HE'LL.

In a sermon lately Mr.. Henry Ward
Beecher said: 'If a man believes in the old
idea of hell TO day he is Il candidate for a
lunatic asylum He has got to give up his
Christ or his hell. Men are rescued and
saved by the voluntary suffering of love,
and the idea is inconsistent with the old
idea of a God of vengeance, The revised
Bible has left hell pretty well out, and has
nut in sheol and hades. This does not put
ont the idea of future punishment. | be-
leyc in that. but the old machinery and
methods of punishment are given up. "No
man. Mr. Beceber said, fought to be con-
verified by sudden change unless he has
been living in the lower plane of his animal
nature. Such man fears only that he will
go to hell and be damned. If a man can
not be held by any other element, let him
be held by that. Such man begins by
giving up swearing, tells as few lies as his
business will let him [laughterl and he be-
gins to try to do right. Such man has
not done much, but he has laid good
foundation" In speaking of the diversity
among men and their various methods of
getting to Heaven, Mr.. Beecher used the
following illustration: Take worm,
tortoise, horse and an eagle, and tell them
to go from New York to Pennsylvania
The worm would wiggle, the tortoise
would crawl, the horse would walk and
the eagle would fly; but all would get there,

CATCHING COLD.

We are still at sea as regards the way
common colds are induced says 'Family
Doctor in the Practical Farmer. They
are caused, believe, i'll great many more
ways than we have any idea Of The
words, Catching chill, are to me en-
tirely devoid of meaning. If by cold we
mean congested state of the mucous
membranes that line the passages through
which we breathe, with discharge OF water
therefrom, pain in eyes and nose, tickling
in the throat, tenderness and rawness Of
chest, with secondary symptoms in the
shape of general feelings of dulness of
mind aud body, and aching of limbs, then
say these symptoms may be produced in
many ways. Direct cold water poured
upon the head or face, as in driving against
the wind, may produce them, so may the
breathing of damp, cold air or even fumes
from some melting substances, etc., that
evolve irritating gases. Here yon have
your cold produced in mechanical way.
A cold may be taken through the feet or
through the body. if either be sufficiently
cold or wet; but this is not caused by the
cold striking up through or in through
either but by causing depression of the
nervous system. and consequent congestion
of the air passages, in those subject to such
complaint. But cold may also be
brought about by indigestion or derange-
ment of the liver, or temporary weakness
of the heart from any cause. And as Tor
treatment. it seems to me that the less
heroic il is the better. Extra warmth,
rest of the whole system, the mildest OF
aperients and abstinence in diet will be
found, as rule. effsctual and safe.

disease is often transferred by the act of
kissing, especially if there is an abrasion of

dangerous practice, and should never be al

SOMEHOW OR OTHER WE GET
ALONG.

The good wife hustled about the house,
Her face still bright with pleasant smile,
As broken snatches of happy song
strengthened her heart and hand the while.
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
Ills little clav pipe within his lips,
And all he'd made and all he'd lost,
Ready and clear on his finger tips.
"Good wife, I've just been thinking bit,
Nothing has done very well this year;
Money is bound to be hard to get
Everything $ bound to be very deal"
How the cattle are going to be fed,
How we're to keep the boys at schoo,
Is kind of Il debt and credit sum
can't make balance by my rule"
She turned her round from the baking bread
And she faced him with a cheerful laugh;
"Why, husband dear, one would think
That the good rich wheat was only chat.
And what if the wheat was only chat,
As long as we both are well and strong?
I'm not a woman to worry bit,
Somehow other we get along.
"Into some lives some rain must fall,
over all lands the storm must beat.
But when the rain and storm are DER,
The after sunshine is twice sweet.
Through every strait we have found a road,
In every grief we've found song:
We've had to bear and had to wait,
Bat somehow or other we get along.
'For thirty years we have loved each other,
Stood by each other whatever befel,
Six boys have called rs father and mother,
And all of them living and doing well.
We owe no man II penny, my dear
We're both of us loving, well and strong.

And think how we'll we've got along"
He filled his pipe with n pleasant laugh;
He kissed his wife with a tender pride:
He said: "I'll do as you tell me, love,
I'll just count up on the other side
She left him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with low, sweet song
A song that followed me many year,

the first printer, was the son of gentle

A TERRITORY SPOOK.
a Nightly Visitor in the Shape of a My
teriuus Bright Light.

a Nightly Visitor in tho Shape of a Mys-
terious Bright Light.
Special 10 the Gazette.
VINITA, |. T, March 22.-Some weeks
ago the nefghborhood of Horse Creek,
twelve miles cast of here, was greatly
excited over the nightly appearance for
three weeks of a visitor which they
are certain belonged to 1.-THE supernatural
world. 1t was nothing more terrible than
very bright light, and was first observed
st night during q remarkably heavy sleet
storm. The first few times it was taken
to be q lantern, but soon it was di>COv-
cred that the. light was of other origin.
After it was known that the mystery was
to be repeated nightly many OF the neigh
bors went TO witness it, and in no in
stance were they disappointed. 1t ap-
peared shortly after dark at certain
point, and, if unnotiCed, remained sta
tionary a few feet from the ground
for about three-quarters of an
nour and then moved slowly
of and disappeared. Chase was
more than once given, but the spectre al
WAYS succeeded in keeping something
ike seventy five yards in sdvance # its
pursuers. 1t would be on direct line
aud not SIS though carried by person on
horseback. Among the persons who saw
and undertook to capture the mysterious
illumination was Luke SiXkiller, the well
known Indian policeman. He considers
himself pretty fleet Of foot, but was not
equal to this emergency. Charley Lytle
and Bill Lewis, both living near, also saw
the sDook, if such it was, on numerous
occasions, and will vouch for the story as
told. As this is not the season nor place
for the "will O. the wisp" to appear, a So
luton is still wanting. Among some of
the neighbors it was looked upon as a
harbinger Of good or evil, and SUISSE
Quent occurrences have Inclined them to
think of the latter.

his legs were severed, rendering the
limb useless. The operation consisted
of transferring two tendons from dog,
which had been ethenzed for the pur-
pose, to Russell's limb, where they
were united with the severed tendons.
For ten3Inonths after the operation
Russellwas not allowed TO use his legs,
hRt within few days he has been permit
ted to exercise. He has now resumed
his work and has complete control of his
limbs, the operation having proved an en-
tire success. This is the first time this
operation has been performed in this
country, though it has been previously
attempted with only partial success.

WARNING POLES.
RiOfing all Day Sunday, Sunday Night
and Monday Between the Rival
Factions at Detroit.
Both Sides Fight the Blue Coats for Inter
ripping Their QuarrsI-MaDy
People Injured.

DETROIT, Mich, March 22.-The eX-
element ia the Polish quarter is still at
white heat. OF the 80, 900 Poles in De-
troit over 1000 are members of st. Albertus
parish. OF these fully 5000 are known as
KolaSlrSki8us Gf,er the depOsed priest
for who rights they have been fighting for
nearly eighteen months. The remaining
1000 ere DOmbrOwiskans, and sustain the
priest who succeeded KOl8sinski. The
two factions fight among themselves, but
when tie police appear they make COM
mon cause against the blue-COats. The
result of Sundays riot was the wounding
of Captain Mack and seven policemen by
stones and other missiles thrown
by the infuriated mob; the shooting
of Annie WO5raCB, Polish girl,
in the hip; the arrest IF John Katzenber
and Antoine Gu1tosky, two rioters, and
the injury of b tween 100 and 200 men
and women by missiles. 1t was
long after midnight when the
mob was entirely dispersed, and
it was hardly daybreak yesterday
when the trouble was renewed. The dis
persed Polauders swafmed to the chuyCn.
Large numbers swore vengeance on the
cused the other of precipitating the con-
fiict, and il they had only been left to
themselves they would have fought 1t out
and settled the matter probably for good,
but the police appeared and
the whole crowd turned against
the peace preserverS as they had
Sunday. 1t reqult ed great bravery and
GOODNESS on the part of the police TO
prevent bl0Odshed, but they managed to
do so until lest night. In the evening
nearly every family of the KolasiaskI
faction assembled on the street near the
church. a number Of men carried clubs
and two men and children had bricks and
other missiles in their hands. Hundreds
of people who had no concern in the
church aff4irs focked to the scene.
There were st the lowest estimate
5000 people within a block Of the
church. Fears that the Kolasinski crowd
would attack the convent or injure some
of the children who were attending school,
drew cut , crowd Of DOmbrOwiski's ad-
hereutS. The latter were posted in COM
pact form OIL the corner of s.. Aubin and
Willis avenues near the church, others
being in possession of St. AUbIn church
and the avenue. A small squad of police
patrOled the street between the two
crowds. Then the two crowds began to
close in on the officers. The latter di
vided evenly, turned back to back and
charged the mob with drawn clubs. There
was some lively fighting for few min
utes. The police fought for their lives,
for the maddened Poles seemed bent on
killing them that they might kill each
other. Fully five minutes the little squad
fought with their clubs against over
whelming ODDS. They finally succeeded,
after bate ing the heads of a dozen or
more ring leaders, in Overewing them
the Poles who had pistols fired them and
the police discharged one or two yolleys
in the air It is estimated that fifty Poles
were badly hurt, but how seriously can
not be learned. Several officers were
seriously injured.
